Wednesday, July 17, 2013 marks the final day of action on the original eKartingNews.com Forums, as the website will transition to a new era with the debut of EKN v2.1 later today. The new website will feature a new and interactive forum where the new possibilities are endless.

These current forums will remain accessible through a new URL, as this edition of EKN will be found at www.eknclassic.com. I would suggest bookmarking that web address so that you can come back to the site as an archive. We have already disabled the ability to post new threads in these forums, and will only allow for the continuance of active threads. Threads that go dormant for more than a day will be locked down. The concept is to move the discussion to the forums as the new EKN, and we would respectfully request that our dedicated forum patrons hop on the new site and fire up some new threads to get things rolling.

To help with the transition, EKN will be contacting a handful of loyal and regular posters via email to set up their accounts directly. We’ll do the same with our valued advertisers who regularly post in the Business & Retail Classifieds to reach our readership. You will need to register again for the new site. The registration is a simple task, similar to what members found here. We will be maintaining the same guidelines as always, and will require members to sign up using their real name.
